The first semantic roles corpus in Persian language, containing about 30,000 sentences from contemporary Persian language, is manually annotated. This corpus, based on the concept of thematic roles of Fillmore, adds a layer of predicate-argument information to the syntactic structures of Persian Dependency Treebank. In this corpus, the verbs, propositional nouns and adjectives are regarded as the predicates of the sentences and are annotated according to their argument structure. The data was prepared based on Conference on Natural Language Learning (CoNLL) dependency format. Semantic tags used as the semantic annotations include thematic roles and functional tags. Thematic roles labels present the argument structure of the predicates of the sentences, and functional tags modify the verb or the whole sentence. The number of thematic roles tags and functional tags are 27 and 15, respectively. The two tags of NEGATION and MODALS are used as the functional tags.

Saussure"s fundamentally novel ideations about language and the problem of the sign, which were introduced to humanities by the publication of the compiled book called Cours de linguistique générale, were indicating a basic turn and the foundation of a new algebraic and relational general science. Many linguists and scholars- who were often called “structuralists” (or partially “post-structuralists”) - pursued his ideations. Among them, Luis Hjelmslev is a prominent figure. Some consider him as the true successor of Saussure. It may be contended that the veritable linkup point between Saussure and Hjelmslev"s perspectives on the epistemology of the linguistic science (and subsequently about the general epistemology) could be related to the concept of “immanence”. In the present study, the basic components in Saussure"s linguistic epistemology- according to recent Saussurological studies – were first extracted by a special attention to his scripts and his lectures; later, their fundamental modifications in the Glossematic standpoint of Hjelmslev were tracked. Next, the importance of epistemological transitions applied by Hjelmslev was examined. Finally, the precious consequences of the Glossematical epistemology towards an “immanent linguistic algebra” were affirmed, and a reconsideration of Hjelmslev"s unique thought regarding the theorization of language was proposed.
